Step-by-Step Instructions

This wall hanging is worked in vertical rows from the bottom up, creating a woven effect. The fringe is added at the end. Follow along carefully, and you'll have a beautiful piece in no time.

Foundation and First Rows

Foundation Row: Make a slip knot and chain 30.

Row 1: Work 1 double crochet (dc) into the 4th chain from the hook (this counts as your first dc). Then work 1 dc into each chain across. You should have 28 dc stitches total.

Row 3 (Color Change to Burnt Orange): Chain 3, turn. Work 1 dc into each of the next 7 dc. Now, work 1 front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next dc, 1 dc into the next dc, 1 fpdc around the next dc, 1 dc into the next dc, 1 fpdc around the next dc. Finally, work 1 dc into each of the remaining 14 dc. (28 sts)

Row 4: Chain 3, turn. Work 1 dc into each stitch across. (28 dc)

Row 5 (Color Change to Golden Yellow): Chain 3, turn. Work 1 dc into each of the next 5 dc. *Work 1 fpdc around the next dc, 1 dc into the next dc*; repeat from * to * 5 times (this creates a vertical ribbed texture). Then work 1 dc into each of the remaining 12 dc. (28 sts)

Finishing Touches

Fasten Off: After Row 20, fasten off your yarn and weave in all loose ends with your tapestry needle.

Adding the Fringe

Cut strands of yarn in various colors (burgundy, orange, yellow, cream, rust) about 12 inches long. For each fringe, take 3 strands together, fold them in half, and use a crochet hook to pull the folded loop through the bottom edge of the hanging. Pull the loose ends through the loop and tighten gently. Repeat this process across the entire bottom edge, alternating colors for a vibrant, textured finish.

Mounting Your Wall Hanging

Fold the top edge of your crocheted piece over the wooden dowel or branch. Using your tapestry needle and a matching piece of yarn, sew the top edge down securely to create a casing for the dowel. Finally, tie a piece of yarn to each end of the dowel to create a sturdy hanging loop.

Your Harvest Moon Woven Wall Hanging is now complete! Hang it in your living room, bedroom, or entryway to add a touch of handmade autumn warmth to your decor. Happy crocheting!
